Inpatient Services
Services provided in a hospital where a person stays overnight either because there is a psychiatric emergency or because the person needs mental health treatment that can only be done in the hospital. Admission can be voluntary or involuntary.
ELIGIBILITY
If you have mental illness or symptoms of mental illness and you cannot be safely treated at a lower level of care, and, because of the mental illness or symptoms of mental illness, you:

Represent a current danger to yourself or others, or significant property destruction
-
Are prevented from providing for or using food, clothing or shelter

Present a severe risk to your physical health

Voluntary admission
An individual agrees to go into and/or stay in the hospital.
Involuntary admission
Hospitals may keep an individual for up to 72 hours without their permission. Hospitals can do this when the hospital thinks you are likely to harm yourself or someone else and that you are unable to take care of your own food, housing and clothing needs. The hospital will tell you in writing what they are doing and what your rights are. If doctors think you need to stay for more than 72 hours, you have the right to a lawyer and a hearing before a judge. The hospital will tell you how to ask for this.
ACCESSING INPATIENT SERVICES
An emergency is a serious mental or emotional problem such as:
-
When a person is a danger to himself, herself, or others because of what seems like a mental illness, or
-
When a person cannot get or use the food, shelter, or clothing they need because of what seems like a mental illness.
In an emergency, call 9-1-1 or take the person to a hospital emergency room. 3
PATIENTS’ RIGHTS & PRIVACY
Whenever an individual is involuntarily detained in a hospital setting, California law affords specific legal protections and the availability of a knowledgeable advocate to speak on behalf of the detained consumer. A Consumers Self-Help Patients' Rights advocate will present the expressed interests of the client in Certification Review hearings and various other legal procedures which may occur routinely or which are requested by the client. Whenever a client in the local system feels their rights are being infringed upon or even denied, that consumer can request review of the instance and a thorough investigation will be done.
Patient’s Rights Advocates are available for assistance in completing forms and resolving a Grievance, Appeal, and State Fair Hearing. A Patient’s Rights Advocate can also help with questions about your rights.
For assistance:
